Has anyone been to New Zealand recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips

I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Wanderlust Carl

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
